November 20, 2024
The Jazz waived Preston (calf) on Wednesday, Tony Jones of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Preston remains out indefinitely due to a significant left calf strain. In a corresponding move, the Jazz signed David Jones to fill Preston's vacated two-way spot. Preston will likely have to prove he's healthy before he gets another contract.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
Preston was selected by the Clippers with the 33rd overall pick in the 2021 NBA Draft. One of the most incredible stories in a long time, Preston, who barely saw the floor as a high-school senior, averaging under 2.5 points per game, has made it to the NBA. However, Preston will still need to earn a roster spot on a Clippers team that is built to win now and is already loaded with talent at the guard position. The 6-foot-4, 187-pound guard averaged 15.7 points, 7.3 rebounds and 7.3 assists with the Ohio Bobcats last year.

He's also chipping in 6.8 rebounds and 1.0 steals per game. Cut by the Clippers during training camp, Preston hasn't been able to crack the Grizzlies' rotation despite a serious rash of injuries striking the backcourt this season.
